He isn't revealing the exploit yet, but he says it is unpatchable (although it could be made harder to do on new hardware revisions). Might have to pick up a PS3 now.

lol... I don't think GeoHot would risk his reputation. I think this one may actually be for real.
Looks like it may be true.This guy is the real deal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hotz

geohot has done a lot of work on the iPhone/iPod Touch hacking. Also, QUOTE
Hotz was a finalist at the 2005 ISEF competition, with his project "The Googler".[17] Continuing with robots, Hotz competed in his school's highly successful Titanium Knights battlebots team. George also worked on his project, "Neuropilot," in which he was able to read EEG signals off his head with hardware from the OpenEEG project. Hotz competed in the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, a science competition for high school students, where his project, entitled "I want a Holodeck," received awards and prizes in several categories.[18] Hotz has received considerable attention in mainstream media, including interviews on the Today Show, Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS, G4, ABC[19] CNBC[20], and articles in several magazines, newspapers, and websites, including Forbes[21], BBC and CNN[citation needed]. The Forbes article said Hotz hopes to go into neuroscience: "hacking the brain," he called it. In March 2008, PC World magazine listed George as one of the top 10 Overachievers under 21.[22]
In December 2007, Hotz travelled to Sweden to attend the Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar and talk about his 3-D imaging invention (called Project Holodeck) that netted him a $20,000 Intel prize earlier that year.
Did I mention he's 20? He's a veritable young Tony Stark.

If I remember right, he was the first to break the iphone code...at the age of 15
seems legit thanks for posting this been following him since he made the claim he would try...darn he is fast...scary...
"3 years, 2 months, 11 days...thats a pretty secure system"

all better now

If this turns out to be a great hack, I see PS3 sales going through the roof. Hopefully so, as we'll now have a "reliable" system for homebrew and such. 
I'll finally buy one!
Sounds like good news.
Oh I will buy a PS3 if this turns out to be true.
its been released on his bolg now

is that a slim ps3 or a big daddy????????? id love to play some back ups but i aint buying a bluray burner.
the exploit is done running a Linux kernel module , PS3-slim doesnt have the option Other OS in the menu like the big PS3 , so you cannot install Linux in PS3 Slim to run the kernel.
right now the exploit is crap , only bypasses lvl1 security , you still need the master key that is in one of the SPU's without that the PS3 is not hacked , you just have access to memory in Other OS mode and not in Game mode.

ummm, you are wrong, having complete access to the memory lets you have access to the system once coders map out the ps3 lingo the master key wont be much more difficult to acquire for exp0its.
